CD4026 Decade Counter/Divider IC (DIP-16 Package)

CD4026 Decade Counter/Divider IC (DIP-16 Package)

The CD4026 is a versatile Decade Counter/Divider IC with integrated 7-segment display decoding capabilities, encapsulated in a DIP-16 package. This IC is designed for applications that require counting and displaying numbers from 0 to 9 in digital form, such as digital clocks, frequency counters, and event counters. It is a popular choice for projects requiring a straightforward way to drive a 7-segment display directly without needing additional driver circuits. Functionally, the CD4026 counts the input clock pulses and advances its count with each positive edge. The built-in decoder outputs signals that can directly drive a 7-segment display, simplifying circuit design and reducing component count. The IC also provides a carry-out signal for cascading multiple CD4026s, allowing users to construct multi-digit counters seamlessly. This IC supports a wide operating voltage range from 3V to 15V, making it suitable for use with both CMOS and TTL logic levels. It features high noise immunity and low power consumption, ensuring stable performance in various electronic environments. The CD4026 also includes a display-enable input for controlling the display output without affecting the counting operation, adding flexibility to its application.
